memory consumption problem



Hi,

I have a peculiar problem in linux. I am working on embedded linux project for

HP printers. We have customized the linux kernel and as soon as the kernel is loaded

The memory consumption keeps on increasing at the rate of 4kb/14 sec. I did run ‘ top’ to find out if that the buffers keeps on increasing the same amount

the free memory keeps decreasing. What does the buffer mean here .which process or kernel code is playing with this buffer.

How do I fix this problem.

 

Thanks and Regards,
